Heart & Brain · Adventures: Bible Truths in Action

• 0:04
  OK, heart, what's this all about?
• 0:06
  Look, Chloe, you asked Jesus to come live inside of me.
• 0:10
  Duh, That's a no brainer. Hold on a minute.
• 0:13
  I don't like that term. No brainer.
• 0:17
  As your brain, Chloe, I happen to believe that asking Jesus
• 0:20
  into our heart was the smartest thing we've ever done.
• 0:24
  I agree, Brain. And now that Jesus lives in me,
• 0:27
  aren't we supposed to do things his way?
• 0:30
  Exactly. I want us to obey God's Word at
• 0:33
  all times. So why did you steal the soccer
• 0:36
  ball, Chloe? What soccer ball did I steal?
• 0:39
  Heart. The one you found in your
• 0:41
  neighbors yard yesterday? Finders, keepers, losers,
• 0:44
  weepers. That's the rule.
• 0:46
  That's the world's rule brain, not God's rule.
• 0:50
  Taking something out of someone elses yard is stealing.
• 0:53
  Taking things that don't belong to you is stealing.
• 0:56
  Stealing is a sin. Brain, why didn't you tell me
• 0:59
  that taking that soccer ball is a sin?
• 1:01
  I asked you if it was OK to take it.
• 1:04
  I thought it was. That's what I thought.
• 1:07
  Brain, you need to get renewed. What?
• 1:10
  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
• 1:14
  renewing of your mind. Romans 12/2 What We change our
• 1:20
  behavior by renewing our minds to think in agreement with God's
• 1:24
  Word. I know what you're trying to do.
• 1:26
  You want to put me in a mental hospital?
• 1:31
  Mental hospital. Talk about a no brainer.
• 1:35
  Hey, come back Brain. I need you.
• 1:42
  Is brain coming? He'll be here.
• 1:44
  Chloe, Are you ready? I have everything right here.
• 1:48
  Heart, surgical mask, gloves, and apron.
• 1:52
  I'm all ready. All right, here I am.
• 1:56
  Where do you want me? Lay down right where you are,
• 1:59
  Brain. Thanks for not putting me in a
• 2:01
  mental hospital. You don't need a hospital.
• 2:04
  You have us. We are here to help you
• 2:07
  remember. We change our behavior by
• 2:09
  renewing our minds to think in agreement with God's word.
• 2:13
  Tell me that verse again. And do not be conformed to this
• 2:16
  world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• 2:20
  Romans 12/2. OK, time to be transformed,
• 2:23
  brain. Hey, what are you dressed up
• 2:26
  like a doctor for? Because I'm going to do a little
• 2:29
  brain surgery. That was a good one.
• 2:35
  Where did Brain go? Not again, Brain.
• 2:38
  It was a joke. Come back Brain.
• 2:41
  We just want to help you. Promise me you won't do surgery
• 2:49
  on me. I promise Brain, we just want to
• 2:52
  help you change your mind. Yeah, that's all.
• 2:56
  We'll all be a lot happier. Remember Romans 12 to and do.
• 3:00
  I know, I know. And do not be conformed to this
• 3:03
  world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• 3:07
  I've been thinking about that verse a lot.
• 3:10
  You're already getting renewed, brain.
• 3:12
  You're thinking about God's word.
• 3:14
  We change our behavior by renewing your mind with the word
• 3:18
  of God. So all I have to do is think
• 3:20
  about God's word. Yes.
• 3:23
  It's called meditating on the word, you know, imagining that
• 3:27
  you're doing what the Word of God says.
• 3:30
  Yeah, that would help me to do what the word of God says.
• 3:33
  Wow, that's easier than I thought.
• 3:36
  Easier than brain surgery, huh? You can say that again.
• 3:45
  Mason, Mason. What's the matter, Hart?
• 3:50
  I can't. Find Mason.
• 3:51
  It's not like him to leave without me.
• 3:53
  Not since he was born again. Calm down, he's playing with
• 3:57
  some new toy he bought. Mason, where have you been?
• 4:03
  Look what I bought with my allowance.
• 4:05
  I've been saving my money. Take that in that.
• 4:10
  Is that one of those flashlights they direct planes on the runway
• 4:14
  with? No.
• 4:16
  I know it's one of those poles to help you balance when you're
• 4:19
  walking on a tight wire. No.
• 4:23
  It's a Darth Maul lightsaber. No, it's not.
• 4:27
  It's a baton for cheerleaders. Hearts, right?
• 4:30
  It's a Darth Small lightsaber. Isn't it?
• 4:34
  Cool. So you're the mighty Jedi.
• 4:38
  I shall annihilate you. I shall destroy you.
• 4:46
  Stop, Mason. The Bible says to put away the
• 4:49
  evil person. Why don't you pretend to be the
• 4:52
  good guy? What are you talking about?
• 4:54
  Heart? What evil person?
• 4:56
  He's just playing with a stick. He's pretending to be Darth
• 5:00
  Maul. Don't you see what it's doing to
• 5:02
  him? Of course I see what it's doing
• 5:04
  to him. I'm not dumb, you know?
• 5:07
  So what do you think it's doing to him?
• 5:10
  If Mason keeps thinking that being the bad guy is cool, his
• 5:13
  choice of who he imitates will affect his attitude and
• 5:16
  behavior. Have you lost your mind?
• 5:18
  Oh wait, I'm right here. You're crazy of heart.
• 5:22
  I'll show you. Remind Mason that he hasn't read
• 5:25
  his Bible yet today. Hey Mason, you forgot to read
• 5:28
  your Bible today. What's the matter with him?
• 5:33
  Is he deaf? He might as well be.
• 5:35
  Mason is thinking so much about being the bad guy that he might
• 5:39
  forget about God. No, it's just a stick.
• 5:43
  I know what to do. Hey Mason, it's time for fish
• 5:47
  bites for kids. You know, on YouTube.
• 5:51
  Mason loves fish fights for kids.
• 5:53
  Not anymore. He's just having a little fun.
• 5:57
  Leave him alone for a while and he'll be all right.
• 5:59
  You'll. See.
• 6:00
  It's my job to guard Mason's heart.
• 6:02
  It's your job to guard Mason's thoughts.
• 6:05
  Toys, music, video games, movies, television, and friends
• 6:09
  influence how we think and live. Mason needs to do what the Bible
• 6:13
  says and put away the evil person.
• 6:15
  You can't be serious. He's pretending.
• 6:19
  Pretending to be evil, you need to be renewed brain.
• 6:23
  Come on, heart, Masons are Christian.
• 6:26
  Can he have any fun? He could have fun while
• 6:28
  pretending to be the good guy and fight evil.
• 6:31
  You know, the Bible says that as a person thinks in his heart, so
• 6:34
  is he. Mason, let's pretend like you
• 6:39
  are the good guy and you defeat the evil guy, Darth Maul.
• 6:43
  That would be fun. Where's Heart?
• 6:46
  I think he's a little broken because you bought that thing,
• 6:49
  he says. It's an evil person.
• 6:51
  Oh, that's dumb. It's just a toy.
• 6:53
  That's what I thought. Hey, it's time for fish bites
• 6:57
  for kids. Yeah, I know, but I've already
• 7:00
  seen them all. Well, they might have a new one.
• 7:03
  Or you can Make Heart happy and read your Bible for a while.
• 7:06
  He's concerned that you like being the bad guy too much.
• 7:10
  Being the bad guy is fun. Boy, maybe heart's right heart.
• 7:17
  Heart. My name is Megan.
• 7:29
  My name is Megan MEGI can't remember how to spell my name.
• 7:35
  Silly me. There you are, Megan.
• 7:37
  How many times have I told you not to go anywhere without me?
• 7:41
  Sorry Brain, but I'm glad you're here.
• 7:43
  Help me out. My name is spelled M e.g.
• 7:47
  ANMEGAN, Megan Used in a sentence it would be Megan
• 7:53
  forgot her brain again. Very funny, Brain.
• 7:56
  There you are, Megan. How many times have I told you
• 7:59
  not to go anywhere without me, especially to church?
• 8:02
  Are we at church? Tell her where we are, Brain.
• 8:05
  It's not my fault, heart. She left without me, too.
• 8:09
  Megan, we're at church, not at cheerleading practice.
• 8:12
  Aren't. We supposed to worship God at
• 8:16
  church? You should worship God every
• 8:18
  day, but you can't worship God without me.
• 8:21
  Oh yes, I can. I can raise my hands. 2 bits, 4
• 8:25
  bits, 6 bits, a dollar, All for Jesus.
• 8:27
  Stand up and holler. Yeah.
• 8:30
  That's good, Megan, but that's not worship.
• 8:33
  Brain, What's a bit? Huh.
• 8:35
  What's a bit? You know 2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits
• 8:38
  a dollar. Oh, I think a bit is what they
• 8:42
  call their coins in England. Oh, so it's time for the
• 8:45
  offering. Wait, then what's worship all
• 8:49
  for Jesus? Stand up and Holler said that
• 8:51
  wasn't worship. So what's worship?
• 8:53
  Well, I'm not sure. You haven't been bringing me to
• 8:57
  church lately, remember? I'll tell you what worship is,
• 9:00
  Megan. Worship is obeying God's word
• 9:03
  with a willing heart. It's respecting God and telling
• 9:06
  him you love him from your heart.
• 9:08
  That's why you can't worship God without me.
• 9:11
  If you leave me at home, you're wasting your time.
• 9:14
  Now you know how I feel when she goes to school to take a test
• 9:17
  without me. She's wasting her time.
• 9:19
  But I don't like taking you guys anywhere, Brain.
• 9:22
  When I have a test, you always want to study and heart.
• 9:26
  When I go to church, you don't let me talk to my friends.
• 9:28
  You can talk to your friends before and after church.
• 9:32
  You always want to talk to them when it's time to worship God.
• 9:35
  During worship is the only time I won't get caught talking
• 9:38
  because the teacher sings with his eyes closed.
• 9:40
  Look, do you want to please God or not?
• 9:43
  Megan, listen to me. You'd better.
• 9:45
  Please, God, we'll all be happier in the long run.
• 9:48
  Okay. Okay what?
• 9:50
  I want to please. God.
• 9:51
  Then you've got to worship God in spirit and in truth.
• 9:55
  That means you have to take me to church.
• 9:58
  You can't just raise your hands while you talk to your friends.
• 10:01
  He's right. Worshipping God with our whole
• 10:03
  heart empowers us for victory. If you want to live in victory,
• 10:07
  you have to submit your will to God.
• 10:10
  Put God first. To be honest, you spend more
• 10:12
  time learning a cheer than you do learning a memory verse from
• 10:15
  the Bible. You're right.
• 10:17
  I'm sorry guys. Hey, brain, you know a lot more
• 10:20
  about worship than you think. Yeah, it all came back to me.
• 10:23
  Megan used to take us to church all the time, remember.
• 10:26
  Yeah, those were the good old days.
• 10:29
  I think Megan ditched us again. I believe you're right.
• 10:32
  Let's go find her. All right, body brain, It's time
• 10:43
  to exercise ourselves toward godliness.
• 10:46
  First, Timothy 4/7. Exercise.
• 10:50
  Wished a deer. Ever body, we have to get you in
• 10:54
  shape. New coach so I can be fit for
• 10:58
  the Masters You. Brain, we have to get you
• 11:01
  renewed. All right, coach.
• 11:03
  So I'll think on good things and meditate on God's word.
• 11:07
  But do we have to exercise? Brain You exercise to get smart.
• 11:13
  What would you be like if you laid around all day doing
• 11:17
  nothing? Well, if I didn't exercise, I'd
• 11:20
  be really dumb coach. I'd be confused all the time.
• 11:24
  I think on bad things instead of good things, and I think God's
• 11:27
  word is boring. So do you think it's important
• 11:31
  for you to exercise then, brain? Definitely.
• 11:35
  No doubt about it. Body.
• 11:37
  You exercise to stay fit and it gets strong.
• 11:41
  What would you be like if you laid around all day doing
• 11:44
  nothing? I'd probably sit on the sofa
• 11:47
  watching TV, eating candy and ice cream and feeling very sick
• 11:51
  on the time for being lazy. So then, do you feel it's
• 11:55
  important for you to get exercise buddy?
• 11:58
  Yes, coach, it's very important. Now, buddy, what do you think
• 12:03
  Brain would be like if he laid around all day, never reading
• 12:07
  God's word. Never.
• 12:09
  Praying in faith. Never going to church.
• 12:13
  He'd be like he's now. Worst brain.
• 12:16
  Ever. Now Brain, what do you think
• 12:19
  Buddy would be like if he laid around all day playing video
• 12:23
  games, sleeping, never going outside to play?
• 12:27
  He'd be like he is now, no doubt about it.
• 12:31
  Buddy, what good is it to go into all the world to do the
• 12:34
  good works of God if your brain doesn't believe what the Bible
• 12:38
  says? And brain, what good is it to be
• 12:41
  renewed by the word of God knowing that greater is Jesus in
• 12:45
  you if your body is too lazy to go tell anyone about Jesus?
• 12:50
  I never thought about it like that before.
• 12:53
  Well, we have to work together as a team.
• 12:57
  I'm ready, Coach. Yeah, so am I.
• 13:00
  Let's go exercise ourselves toward godliness first.
• 13:04
  Timothy 4/7. What you be doing, matey?
• 13:16
  I'm not Matey. I'm Bobbye Brain.
• 13:19
  Why are you acting like a pirate?
• 13:21
  You're Billys brain. Didn't Billy get saved?
• 13:25
  I that he did, matey. I'm not matey.
• 13:30
  I'm Bobby's brain. So why don't you clean up your
• 13:34
  ACT, You know, get renewed like I did.
• 13:38
  Look at me. I'm styling.
• 13:40
  My body hears God's word. Sometimes our parents read it to
• 13:44
  us, or we listen to podcasts, or we go to church.
• 13:48
  Whatever we do, I'm there paying attention.
• 13:52
  I haven't felt this great in my entire life.
• 13:55
  Me buddy, here's God's word to just like you.
• 14:00
  But I just Daydream. I'm thinking about me video
• 14:05
  games, me friends and me lunch. But most of the time I'm
• 14:11
  thinking about me favorite cartoon SpongeBob.
• 14:17
  Oh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
• 14:23
  SpongeBob SquarePants. Look, I like video games.
• 14:27
  I have friends. I think about what I'm going to
• 14:30
  have for lunch. I watch SpongeBob sometimes,
• 14:33
  too. But when it's time to hear God's
• 14:36
  word, I listen carefully. I think about what they're
• 14:40
  saying. I'm getting renewed with the
• 14:42
  word of God. You know, we change our behavior
• 14:46
  by renewing our minds with the word of.
• 14:48
  God, I you have changed. You used to be a scoundrel like
• 14:54
  me. I got just one question for you.
• 14:58
  Are you having fun? Fun.
• 15:02
  I have peace. I don't worry.
• 15:05
  I'm not afraid. I don't have to work on problems
• 15:08
  all day. The Lord keeps me in perfect
• 15:11
  peace because my mind is stayed on him because I trust in him.
• 15:15
  Isaiah 26, Three. Wait, are you telling me that
• 15:21
  you don't have problems going through you all day and all
• 15:24
  night keeping you awake to the wee hours of the?
• 15:28
  Morning. Not anymore.
• 15:30
  I'm telling you, when Bobby has a problem, we pray and then God
• 15:34
  tells our spirit man what to do and that's what we do.
• 15:38
  So you're getting along with your spirit, man.
• 15:44
  That's mighty nice of ya, matey. I'm not ready.
• 15:49
  I'm bobbies brain. I'm forever fighting with our
• 15:54
  spirit, man. You think I look bad?
• 15:57
  You should see him. He's always wanting us to pray
• 16:02
  and read our Bible. That's good.
• 16:06
  That's how you get renewed. Well, maybe I don't want to
• 16:11
  renewed. If I had my way, we'd sit around
• 16:15
  watching SpongeBob all day. Oh, who lives in a pineapple
• 16:22
  under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants.
• 16:26
  I have to go. Way off to Matey.
• 16:30
  I'm not. Maybe.
• 16:33
  Never mind. It's time for church.
• 16:37
  You mean it's Sunday morning already?
• 16:40
  Yup. See you at church.
• 16:42
  Hey, there you are. Let's go.
• 16:44
  Billy's mom is taking us to church.
• 16:48
  Why ain't it time for a SpongeBob?
• 16:52
  Quit the Pirate Act and let's go.
• 16:54
  Fine. And try to pay attention in
• 16:56
  class this time. All right, I'll pay attention.
• 17:06
  Special thanks to Avianna and Shiloh Coulson.
